Hi all!
Just wondering if anyone else is suffering with hayfever at the mo & if anyone knows of any remedies you can take when pregnant. I'm suffering quite badly & have left a message for my midwife, but I was wondering if any of you could help please?
Thank you,
Dx

Have you tried Hay Max? It's an organic balm which you rub round your nostrils to stop you breathing in the pollen. You can get it from Superdrug and probably Boots. I'm not sure how effective it is comapred to antihistimine tablets, but my hubby says he likes using it as it stops his nose getting sore when he is constantly blowing it!
Good luck getting something sorted.

Thank you,

first time in 20 years I havent taken proper drugs!
Cetirizine is safe to take during pregnancy so get your gp to prescribe that. Maybe some nasal spray and eye drops too if you're bad.

I've just spoken to my GP on the phone - they offer phone appointments when they're fully booked. Anyway I'm just about to go and pick up a prescription for a nasal spray & some eye drops. Fingers crossed they work!! Will keep an eye out for the hay max & the whatsit from lloyds.
Thanks for your advice,
Dx

Hi hun,
I suffer really badly and normaly use evry drug going!
Im using this electric device you get form the chemists you put it up your nose for 3mins 3 times a day. I think its worked a bit so its worth a try it was only ??15 you will see it at any loyds chemist. Im also taking herbal pills, these are ok not great tho. I would recommend to put vasaline around your nose as this traps the pollen and turn your pillow over b4 you go to sleep and dry your sheets in the house so pollen doesnt get on them.
I asked the doc and he said if im really bad to use beconase or flixonase nasel spray.
Hope this helps

I normally only get hayfever in april and may when the trees are getting their leaves. I went to dr's last week for my confirmation appointment and nurse said not to take anything in pregnancy. I have been suffering bad too. I normally take Citrizine hydrochloride and looking at the leaflet in the box, it says not to take if pg or breastfeeding.
I am fed up of sneezing!!!
